With partisanship and polarization at an all-time high in Washington and at state houses nationwide, a tinge of bipartisanship was on display today at the Colorado state Capitol.

Mayoral candidate Chris Romer, a Democrat, teamed up with Senate Minority Leader Mike Kopp, R-Littleton; Sen. Greg Brophy, R-Wray; and Sen. Mark Scheffel , R-Parker, in a show of support for the upcoming second annual Bailey HUNDO bike race, taking place in Bailey, Colorado.

“This is a wonderful race because it promotes health and a sport that is really significant in Colorado,” said Scheffel, who represents a district along the race path. “It also helps promote economic development in areas of Colorado that have been hit hard by the economy.”

The idea for the race came about last year on the senate floor as the four brainstormed ways to promote a sport they enjoyed and also promote youth biking.

Bailey HUNDO is produced by the Colorado Mountain Biking Association and Advanced Colorado Fund, a nonprofit organization that promotes both youth biking initiatives in Colorado and trail building in the Platte Canyon area.

The Epic Race Making an Epic Difference, as it’s coined, supports three youth biking initiatives in the state: Trips for Kids Denver/Boulder, Colorado High School Cycling League and Kids on Bikes.

Last year’s inaugural race featured 150 riders and raised more than $8,000 to further the nonprofit mission of supporting youth biking initiatives.

“It’s great to be rasing money for high school mountain biking efforts,” said Brophy, at the kickoff event.

The race features more than 45 miles of single track as it winds from Bailey through Buffalo Creek trail up Stony Creek pass and back to Bailey.
